what I learned

I have learned a few things this week.First, I learned that I need at least 8 hours of sleep each nightor I will feel like I am going to throw up...and along with that, I learned I should not eat mexican food the third consecutive night of non-sleep. It only adds to the drama.Secondly, I learned that if I go to Target to meet someonewithout my cell phone, I will not be able to find them. I learned I will have to buy a mocha in order to get change back, so I can find a pay phone to call the person I cannot find.Inadvertantly, I learned something about the world at large. There are no pay phones.Anywhere.Then I learned, that if desperate enough, I willask a perfect stranger (nice mommy with a stroller) if I can use her cell phone to call the person I cannot find. God bless her.Thirdly, I learned that I am not as handy as I hoped.A screw excavator is out of my depth. Therefore, if you havea screw or bolt with a stripped head anywhere in your vicinity,do not call me, because despite giving it a good college try forsay, maybe, two hours, and sweating through a perfectly good shirt,the screw will still be firmly lodged where it began. And I will probably cry, which will just make it all the more awkward.This week I was forced to recognize my limits.And it wasn't pretty.It is always a bit shattering when I disappoint myself.So as I set my bed time for 10:00 and make sure I have mycell phone in my purse, I am thinking two things....One - I am thankful God is limitless. That his abilities have no end.And two - thank God this week is over.There's only so much learning a girl can take.
